![WTF?! Reality Show Alert: Strip Club Queens of Atlanta… [PHOTOS + VIDEOS]](http://cdn.straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/strip-club-queens-promo-1-520x523.jpg)
Yesterday TMZ posted an “exclusive” story about Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks and her multi-million dollar lawsuit against VIBE magazine.
[FLASHBACK: Angela Who? VIBE Back Pedals on "Lies of A Real Housewife" Scandalous Phaedra Parks "Tell All" ]
The normally astute gossip site erroneously reported that Parks and her mother, Regina Belle, had settled their defamation lawsuit with the magazine for what amounted to be the cost of a new purse.
While the story made for great Sunday morning gossip, it wasn’t true. Unfortunately I don’t work on Sundays, but I tried to warn bloggers and the like via Twitter, as soon as y’all started sending me the link:
Guess what? I was right… 
Here’s the TRUTH about the situation… HOT TEA ALERT!
The link TMZ posted has since been removed, but it originally stated the following:
“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Phaedra Parks needs a lesson in negotiating — because the reality TV star settled her $30 mil lawsuit against Vibe Magazine for WAAAAAY LESS than what she wanted.
Parks filed the suit against Vibe in May after they published a book called “Lies Of a Real Housewife” — which she claimed made her out to be a “crooked attorney engaged in a multitude of criminal acts.
“Vibe denied the allegations in her complaint, but still came back with an offer for settlement … to the tune of $2,500 (which is obviously is nowhere near $30 mil).
Both parties then agreed to dismiss the suit last month after settling out of court. TMZ broke the story … Phaedra’s mom ALSO filed a lawsuit against Vibe for the same book, seeking $6 million in damages. Parks’ mom ALSO received a settlement offer from Vibe — hers was for $10 (yes, TEN DOLLARS). She too recently dismissed her suit.
The article was NOT true at all and Phaedra’s attorney’s hit the net to correct the situation…
Phaedra has NOT settled her case against Vibe and she is definitely still pursuing her suit.
Vibe reportedly made some type of settlement offer, but from what I’ve heard, neither Parks or her attorneys were interested in settling.
As for the federal court case, it is TRUE that Phaedra voluntarily dismissed the case but only so that it could be re-filed in Gwinnett County State Court to add the author of the tell-all, Angela Stanton, as a defendant.
Per Georgia law, in order to add Stanton as a defendant, Parks had to file the suit in STATE court as opposed to federal (due to the fact that they are both Georgia residents).
While Stanton has been adamant about her stance to “tell the truth and shame the Devil,” and often says she’s prepared to face Phaedra in court, she’s now AVOIDING being served the lawsuit and even admitted it on TWITTER!
The woman is clearly in need of a psychiatric evaluation!
Stanton wants to tell her “truth” but now that she has the opportunity to put it all out there IN FRONT OF A JUDGE, she ducks and dodges service? Gimme a f*ckkin break….
I hope some of y’all will take this chance to finally see this woman for the opportunist she is. As Stanton has said several times, “God reveals all”… well “TELL THE TRUTH AND SHAME THE DEVIL” Angela…. I MICHELLE BROWN personally challenge you to do so.

i usually dont wish bad on people but Phadera should offer a reward to get her address or where she works etc!
Well…Since black people can’t live without twitter…lol She’s getting wifi from somewhere…lol Let me not tip the nut off…lmao
Hope Phaedra get her money…and all the sells from that silly book
Who cares
sorry atlien but i beleve stanton and what she worte in her book is criminating for a lawyer but G at da same damn time. Phadrea is a HUSTLER and she had her angles covered well, she just fucked over the wrong one. I hope the judge throw the suit out on it’s ass 30 million? gtfoh. BJ is a scam artist as well she all about the money and is excellent in overthrowing black owned businesses. Now i do like phadrea on rhoa but lets call a spade a spade and move the hell on because she know she did it.
I think Angela is hurt more than anything.If Phaedra would have apologized and asked for forgiveness, just maybe Angela would have let it slide. She is still young, I think 35, and have a vengfull attitude towards all of her enemies.From the past week’s gossip websites, Ms. Stanton’s home life is lacking and I feel she should give her children love and devotion, instead of beating down TWITTER everyday with this confusion.
You will not heal, Angela, unless you forgive.Gurl, trust me, it’s a waste of your time.Let it go and seek help.
Hmmmm….soundz like a lying axx bicth 2 me….they gonna find her 2 serve her those papers so she can run but certainly can’t hide….she ain’t gonna be joking when they get her axx 4 perjury if she does lie in court….ya’ll remember Lil Kim axx got sent up the road 4 perjury…..I can’t stand lyin axx bicthezzz…..
With all the people she’s snitchin on!!! Of course she doesn’t want anyone to know her address…these are federal crimes she’s exposing…the easiest way for this whole ordeal to be dismissed would be for her to disappear…send it to her lawyer…
Well there’s another woman claiming Phaedra was/is a madam to ballers…. This is going to get interesting..
thats not all she said on twitter. she stated the case was thrown out of federal court and phaedra refilled in state court.
I have a serious question I would like answered with shade and insults. Is there something wrong with Phaedra’s son? Does he have down syndrome?
